I'm going to mess around out with my GM5 this weekend on Sunday. I'll get and output of mine. The DRL or my lights blink when I unlock/lock the car.

 

Thx, that would be great.
Also if you can think of another nice tweak I can do, feel free to share.

 

I'm trying to figure out how to program the vin into a GM5 unit.

 

Why would you do this? The NCS should read it automatically.

 

For the blinking when locking/ unlocking have you tried with P.A Soft? I found it easier with that one (you can also try with NCSdummy).

For the DRL's if your car has the US spec when you turn the engine on the high beams will turn on but on a lower voltage so they'll be dimmed. If your car is an Euro spec look at your headlight and you'll see a little (I guess it's 5W) lamp, that's the city light/ drl.

 

If I remember right you need to activate the OEM alarm for the flash on lock/unlock to be working.

DWA
nicht_aktiv

Change it to aktiv.

 

Great, thanks both. Will try this tonight.

 

That's what is did, then made sure the tilt sensor and ultrasonic sensor were disabled.

 

I cannot do it. I've tried several combinations and it doesn't work. The car never blinks.

DWA (alarm)
Tried with aktiv and not aktiv

My GM5.C05 does not have these options:
DWA_NOTENTSCHAERFEN
aktiv
DWA_QUITTIERUNG
aktiv
ZV_ENTR_SCHL_BEI_DWA_AKT
aktiv


This is active:
QUITT_BLK_SICHERN VISUAL LOCK WITHOUT ANTI-THEFT ALARM SYSTEM
nicht_aktiv not active
aktiv active (turn signals blink when lock the vehicle)

Any idea why it is not working?

 

Because you have visual lock with out alarm active.
Turn that back off, and set the día to active, and any uninstalled sensors to not active.

 

I know this is a somewhat stale thread but my 2001 330ci (09.2001) was also not showing visual locking indication until I enabled non existent DWA. Audible indication doesn't work, but maybe that's because there is no alarm??

 

yep confirmed in other threads that audible indication doesn't work without alarm siren
